A MonDaY FuLL oF ShiT!!
Two hours before my work today (06.08.07), my hp started to vibrate vigorously. Initially, I thought it was my alarm but only to find out that it was an incoming call from an unfamiliar number. Picking up the call, it was a guy on the other line asking if I was Shaun’s (my brother) sister. I told him I am and the next thing he said was that my brother has been caught by the police on ground for drink driving. I was pissed off. They are grown up adults and yet they still get themselves into this type of shit. Because of this, I was kept awake and had to take urgent leave. Half an hour later, my idiotic brother called to ask me to bail him out. Though we are not on talking terms, I still agreed to go down to the police station at Ubi.
I had to leave the house almost right away cos my parents cannot be told as they would most probably give my brother hell, especailly my mum. I waited for quite sometime before he was allowed on bail. Court hearing will be on the 23rd of Aug at 9am. So to all the drivers and riders (including me), please do not drink and drive. U can only do one thing at a time. If you drive, don’t drink. If you drink, take a public transport home.
After we were done with the paper work, we were led to retrieve the car. I was astonished to see scratches in white and yellow paint on the driver’s door as well as the door behind. My brother and his friend did not notice it. The first question I popped to my brother was "Did you get into an accident earlier on?" Both he and his friend said no and the police officer had also verify that the car has got no damages when it was hand over to the police. So it must be the towing company that the TP had engaged. Hence, we got to call the officer down to take a look and took some photographs.
Due to this problem, we didn’t wanna drive the car home and stayed put at the station till the tow truck came back. Well, a few of the officer in-charge all verified that its the tow truck that caused the scratches and that there is no other scratches other then the right side doors. Hence, they were being asked to settle the problem for us. In return, the towing company agreed to had the scratches removed and re-paint the car doors. The manager in-charge said that they would come by to pick up the car from our house. Thus, we went home and it was already almost 11am! Six and a half hour after my brother was caught. Damn….You see how slow they work to get things done? Only fast on certain things. You get what I mean…. Wasted my half day just like that.
The car did not came back till it was 6 plus in the evening. We weren’t happy with the paint job done cos it was such a rough work then. On top of that guess what I found? Guys if you are reading this, you are not gonna believe it. There is NEW scratches near the petrol cover at the rear of the car!!!!! Its in whits and blue colour. Oh my god! Just where the hell did the TP department engaged this towing company for. This is freaking annoying and the towing company denied its their fault.
I don’t mean to be rude nor anything but I suggest that the TP department to engage a more professional towing company cos it seems like the people from the towing company are more ‘drunk’ then my brother. What kind of company is this man. I am sure the TP department can afford a better towing company right?? If this were to go on, I think by catching more drink drivers, they are gonna cause more inconvenience to themselves as all the drivers will start to lodge complaints against the towing company. Do something!!!! We are in a high-tech country, not some kampong or third world country man….. This is ridiculous!
Anyway, because of my brother’s misfortune (license being suspended), it became my fortune. Why? Because I get to drive now and no one is fighting with me. So my friends, please start asking me out ya. Now its my turn to party.
